Passion for aerospace
For some, the sky’s the limit, but for him, it’s always been a fascinating place ripe for exploration. Ever since he was four years old; he would look up to the night sky wondering what it would be like to be up there. His parents were avid astrologists and engineers and owned many telescopes. Away from the city lights; Jack’s family would go camping in the summer. They would spend time stargazing in the dark skies away from the cities lights.
By the age of 7; Jack could name most constellations. He even was building his own telescopes from kits that his parents had gotten him for his birthday. He would also disassemble and reassemble many appliances in the house; anywhere from remote controls to kitchen appliances. Needless to say, this drove his parents up the wall. But they loved his curious mind, and encouraged his love for problem solving.
To say the least his parents nurtured his love for learning. His parents decided to give him airplane kits and kit replicas of famous space rovers and satellites. Jack even ended up working with his parents on a realistic and to-scale replica of the Hubble Telescope. He loved working on the model so much. He then taught himself to make CAD drawings and started making his own models from scratch. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, the answer was always an astronaut and aerospace engineer.
Growing up and discovering that passion
He excelled in math, physics, and the sciences in high school, which earned him high grades in his AP classes, and his pick of top engineering programs in the nation. In fact, he ran out of AP Calculus and Physics classes to take in school, so he started a rocket club–one for aerospace and rocketry enthusiasts where they made small rockets that launched successfully. The club routinely won science awards for innovation and pushing new frontiers.
He loved the camaraderie in the rocket club so much that he decided to attend an aerospace and aviation university in order to be surrounded by like-minded students. He was right at home and knew he wanted to dedicate the rest of his life to space exploration. If he couldn’t personally see the Earth’s curvature with his own eyes, he was determined to build a rocket that would do the work for him. His life’s mission was to defy gravity and explore what space has to offer.
After earning his aerospace degree, Jack was hired by one of the largest aerospace companies in the nation. He quickly became dissatisfied with how slow things moved in the big companies and the overall lack of innovation, so he decided to take a chance on himself instead.
Thanks to 3D printing, he knew he could design and build a working rocket engine in weeks instead of the years it took big companies to bring programs to life. Looking for outside investments to fund his dream, he moved to Northern California where he started connecting with venture capitalists to land a seed round funding.
Jack then built his own Aerospace Engineering Company
Jack quickly realized that doing so would be nothing short of an uphill battle. Most investors in Silicon Valley mainly invested in software companies, and were not very familiar with mechanical companies, let alone space startups. Getting turned down by investors time after time was not easy, and while he took rejection better than most, after dozens of meetings where he ended up being turned down, panic started setting. He lost the pep in his step, and getting up early to work on his launches became harder.
Was this going to be worth it? What if the investment never came? As soon as he said that question out loud, he knew what he needed to do.
It then became his mission to educate investors about mechanical advances in the aerospace field. Never one to shy from a challenge, Jack decided to prove that his designs were innovative, new, and unique and that they would revolutionize the the aerospace industry. Knowing that he needed to protect his innovative work before meeting with investors or large aerospace companies that may license his work, he started looking for an aerospace patent attorney.
Jack needed an Aerospace Patent Attorney
Jack remembered how great it was to work with people passionate about aerospace, and so he began looking for someone experienced in both aerospace engineering and patent law. It was refreshing to work with someone who loved space exploration as much as he did. He felt secure in knowing that he was on the right track to ensuring his work was on the cutting edge of technology and something he could patent and license to large aerospace companies.
He recently had a successful rocket launch, and one of the largest companies in the aerospace field just licensed one of his new mechanical designs for their new program. Looking back at it all, he’s glad he took a chance on himself.
You deserve an aerospace patent lawyer as passionate about aerospace as you are
You deserve that investment and rewards for your effort.
You’re smart. Even though you occasionally have doubts: I can guarantee that you’re better at this than most of your peers.
The bad news: is that there’s no magic bullet. The good news is that your hard word can achieve the innovative aerospace company. Yes it’s rocket science but it also takes vision, planning, and resolve.
You’re hungry for good advice but too often end up finding bad sales pitches. Innovent Law is different – promise.
